recvoerying password for cold fusion adminstrator

Report · Aug 11, 2008

Does anyone out here have any idea on how to recover a password on a cold fusion server in the Coldfusion Admin.
Our programmer died 2 weeks ago in a accident and we can not find the password to gain access to our CF server on our system. Any help will be greatly apperciated. we really hate the thought of haveing to uninstall and reinstall the cold fusion program. It would invole to much work to reinstall and re-input all the server data we have. leaveing a important part of our site down.
if possible we hope to find a solution other than starting over.
we were lucky and were able to recover our server side password for ASP.net but not having much luck with the the Coldfusion Admin. Any Ideas?
